The French absinthe drinker takes goblet
full of cold water-not necessarily iced,
though preferably so-and adds to it, drop by
drop, just enough of the liquor to give it
very light green tinge. Wherever the light
strikes the mixture the most lovely opaline
hues are seen, and there is no sight so lovely
to the eye of the confirmed absinthe drinker.
A sip of the fluid leaves in the mouth the
most delightful after taste, much like ami
settle, only wanting in the fat taste, which
would come from diluting that liqueur.
There is, too, an added favor, unlike any
thing else in the world So prepared, alb
sinthe makes refreshing and exhilarating
drink, most grateful to the palate, but woe
be unto him who yields too continuously to
what seems harmless indulgence En-
joyed too often the peculiar taste of absinthe
becomes a necessity, and long continued in
diligence in the minute doses has a constitu-
tional effect on the nervous system, if posi-

rable than that of whisky. Paralysis and
palsy are among the results of the habit,

cURlo5ITleS IN CLOCKS.


Timepieces Made Up in Various Odd and
Handsome Designs.
The latest thing in clocks is the imitation
OF machinery of different kinds" said a sales
man In an importing house. 1--WE have Just
received some very odd designs in this line
from Paris. Here is a clock that would make
rne present for railroad man, and he
exhibited a beautiful white bronze model of
steam boiler. 1t had steam gauge, safety
valve and speed regulator, and a thermo-
meter took the place of the water gauge. On
the furnace door was the dial of tie clock
and above it was a barometer. The whole
apparatus was about ten inches high and was
mounted on plush platform The clock
was running and the pendant balls of the
speed regulator were whirling around mer-
rny and doing the work of the pendulum.
NOW, here is something that would please
anybody" said the clerk, and he showed a
handsome windmill in bronze and gold. with
CLOCK lace let into the side of the tower.
Inc arms OF the windmill were moving in
such a natural way that one could easily i'm
aglne that he felt the breeze that propelled
them Another design was well. built of
tiles held in place by a gilt frame, and an
openwork well house overhead. in which n
bucket was hanging suspended by chain
Inc bucket served as pendulum, and swung
In circle most mysteriously, for it did not
seem to have any connection with the works
OF the clock, which were concealed in the
well.
Here is something unique" said the clerk,
calling the reporters attention to an elabor-
ate affair. This is perfect miniature Of a
boiler set in brick foundation. There are
al OF the valves, gauges, steam pipes and
connections complete The end of the boiler
serves as the dial Of the clock, and here at
one side is a steam hammer moving up and

HOW HAND PAINTING" is DONE.
Preparation of Fancy Articles for the
Holiday Trade-An Inside View

Preparation of Fancy Articles for the
Holiday Trade-An Inside View.
One of the signs that the artist is abroad in
the land is the passion for ''hand paintedn
things among the Philistines that the artist
himself is far from sharing. "Hand paint
sdf' said one the other day to ayoung woman
who was boasting of a new fan. THAT is
reason enough for supposing it is very bad. "
And no wonder, when one comes to know
how this hand painting is done and paid
for wonder who are the people who paint
with their feet. An advertisement ap-
peared in morning paper the other day
asking artists who were accustomed to deco
rative work and wanted employment to come
TO a certain down town address, where fancy
articles are being prepared for the holiday
trade. The Observer is not a painter, but he
went to see how it Jared with those that
were.
We gods and little fishesl He saw, if people
can be supposed to fare at all who paint cards
1or cent apiece and deliberately decorate
calendars for twenty cents. 1t is impossible
to see how people can subsist on their earn
ings at these figures, and probably most of
them only in this way exc out an income de
rived from some other source. Of course it
IS the shoals of young people with little ac-
complishments of this sort, who are living BY
other means that have driven the prices of
this work so terribly low, and this is very
hard on the people who are depending upon
it for living.
The people who had advertised for painters
seemed fairly decent couple man and his
wife, and the woman began in deprecating
way when the Observer asked about the work
by saying the prices were not very large
She told afterward how the large firm whom
they worked for had said that the cost of the
goods must be still further reduced, and how
her husband had cut down everybody but The
painters. He didn't see how he could make
them work any cheaper" Specimens of the
work were shown, and some of it was pitt
fully good-not as good generally as the bet
ter sorts of printed work, but evidently done
with the desire TO be as artistic as was DOS
sible under the conditions.-New Yorl

The confectioners of Vienna, at meeting
held few weeks ago, claimed the monopoly
of the manufacture and sale of ice cream, as
against the coffee houses, restaurants and
other places purveying that fashionable relish
to the public. They took their stand upon the
privileges of the obsolete guilds and applied
to the chamber of commerce and industry
for an opinion, which said: Everybody, a
cook as well rs baker or publican, is entitled
to make and sell ice cream without passing
an examination and proving his ability to do
it." That decision is nothing remarkable,
but it is remarkable that demand for such
a monopoly could be advanced by number
